HIV and AIDS research leans on macaques, and not just any macaques. The animals have to be specific pathogen free — clear of certain viruses that would otherwise confound results or put the people caring for them at risk. They also have to be genetically characterised for MHC class I type, because those genotypes strongly shape how a macaque's immune system responds to SIV, the virus used to model…

Continuing support for specific pathogen-free macaque breeding colonies that supply HIV and AIDS research — animals free of confounding viruses and genetically characterised for MHC class I type, previously funded under PAR-21-089 and PAR-18-669.
